Especially as our game plan seems to be for the wide forwards to stay wide and put crosses in the box. If they were encouraged to come inside and shoot more often I'd expect a bigger goal return. As it is I'd hope for them to have a decent number of assists (though that also relies on a striker...

So what is Eccles injury? Doesn't actually say in the article.

Haven't we literally just paid for the turnstiles? And I'm pretty sure we paid for the pitch re-lay too.

How many people could you name not on the playing side? But for an option I'd say the scouting team that picked up Gyokeres and Hamer for under £3m.

I think all of our strikers work better being played through on the ground but the tactics FL plays seems intent on getting the ball wide and then getting crosses in. But none of our strikers ever look close to getting on the end of them. Only time our strikers looked even half decent was when...

So if we miss out on promotion because some team cheats and wins a penalty I guess that's fine - to win you've got to do what needs to be done. Also where was that attitude when you were complaining about the (untrue) claims the Dem's had cheated to win the election?

Nope. Asking you if you're a fanboy of a cheat.

But you accept he's cheating.

Because football (at the top level) is absolutely awash with cash and that makes greedy fuckers deludedly believe they can achieve the same success with other sports. Others are going down the US franchise route because it's basically a licence to print money for owners of the major sports.

But that growth is very uncertain. One bad season, crowds drop off and it becomes untenable. I wonder if there could be an element of the rent linked to attendance in a new contract?

Wasn't it replaced last season? But agree it was awful and couldn't understand a word.

Rushworth 7 - some good saves, controlled his area well and goal would have been difficult to stop. MvE 6 Kitching 6 Thomas 6 Bidwell 6 Grimes 6.5 - usual Grimes but could he please play 10 yards further up the pitch. Or at least ahead of the CB's. Sheaf 5 - some sloppy passing and got caught in...

But the club could add in penalties to the contract for such problems occurring, or even threaten to change supplier if they don't improve.

I agree about it being hard for the strikers. The only time they really showed any bite (apart from Wright's hat-trick) was Simms and BTA playing as a pair.

But that's not 'wanting shot' of him is it? If they did they wouldn't care - they'd just accept what was offered regardless. In fact, if they really 'wanted shot' of him they'd just release him.

And if you truly 'want shot' of someone you don't negotiate. You accept. Not like he was a mega expensive signing they want to recoup some money from.

I wondered if we might make a signing today to increase the attendance but bit too late now.

If you turn down an opportunity to sell him it's hardly 'wanting to get shot of him' is it.

My fear this year is that Lampard will stick rigidly to his 4-3-3 even though as it stands I don't think we've got the right players and squad balance to play it effectively for extended periods. Last season we had a great run playing two strikers and a back 3 and although that was always going...

But they can't report it - they're dead.
